Anne Jerneck
Anne Jerneck is Professor of Sustainability Science at LUCSUS. She holds a PhD in Economic History from Lund University. Her research includes modern socio-economic transformation in Vietnam and the changing role of the state in the transition from plan to market in the 1980s and 1990s. With a focus on urban income and career opportunities among people who are poor and migrants, she also studied gender inequalities in formal and informal labour markets as well as rural income opportunities in aqua culture. After that, she studied climate change mitigation and adaptation in the context of multiple stressors among ‘the poorest of the poor’ in coastal Vietnam and in agroforestry based subsistence farming in Africa. In sustainability science as an emerging field she has a theoretical and methodological interest and has published on critical problem solving, integrated approaches, knowledge structuring, sustainability pathways, and gender issues. She has successfully supervised 20 PhD candidates in Economic History, Geography, Human Ecology and Sustainability Science. She is lead faculty in the Earth System Governance project and an editorial board member of the new journal Earth System Governance.
